Celebrating 10 Years of Gravitational Waves!

Last week, OzGrav hosted a 2-workshop at Swinburne to mark a decade since the first detection of gravitational waves, GW150914, a discovery that reshaped astrophysics and confirmed Einstein’s prediction.

Here’s to the next decade!

[Susan Scott @ozgravityguru]

Happy Birthday GW150914! @ARC_OzGRav has just celebrated the 10th anniversary of the first detection of gravitational waves at @Swinburne. With several hundred detections since then, we've learnt so much new physics about black holes and neutron stars and the nature of gravity!

[Susan Scott @ozgravityguru]

Happy 10th birthday GW150914 - the first ever detection of gravitational waves, coming from a binary black hole inspiral. Check out this exciting 10th anniversary focus issue of Classical and Quantum Gravity: https://t.co/2tuF1BlaCM
It's a living collection so check back often!

Vale Rai Weiss (29 Sept 1932-25 Aug 2025), a doyen in the field of gravitational wave detection. He produced the design for a gravitational wave detector which eventually became @LIGO. An inspirational leader and passionate driver of the LIGO project who will be greatly missed 👏

Very proud of our new paper out today. An early tribute to the 10th anniversary of the historic discovery of gravitational waves.

ICYMI, this year’s #wintersolstice for the Southern Hemisphere will occur at 12:42pm AEST on Saturday, June 21, 2025. After that, days will get longer and nights will become shorter for the next 6 months, driving the slow transition from winter back to summer. ☀️

And @JadePowell12 we are super excited at @CQGravity for what should be a landmark issue for this active and rapidly evolving branch of gravitational wave astrophysics 😃

[Dr Jade Powell @JadePowell12]

Our @CQGravity focus issue on core-collapse supernova astronomy and astrophysics: past, present and future now has a webpage! I’m super excited to be one of the guest editors! 😁 https://t.co/l4c1gEpz2Y

[Susan Scott @ozgravityguru]

We've just concluded a wonderful Gravitational Wave Advanced Detector Workshop in Cocoa Beach, Florida. We considered the design, instrumental aspects and science case for increased-sensitivity gravitational wave detectors for the future international network
@ARC_OzGRav

[Karan Jani @AstroKPJ]

Excited to see @newscientist feature the Laser Interferometer Lunar Antenna (LILA) — a project I lead as Principal Investigator — in their story on how the lunar surface could transform our ability to study black holes and listen to the universe.

[EGO & the Virgo Collaboration @ego_virgo]

As the third portion of the fourth observing run, O4c, is starting the @LIGO - Virgo - @KAGRA_PR Collaboration is announcing a break from observing to dedicate some time to maintenance and commissioning, and therefore an extension of O4, previously planned to end in June. (1/4)

[Susan Scott @ozgravityguru]

Early Bird registration closes today for the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration Meeting to be held in Melbourne, Australia, from March 24th – 27th at the Pullman Melbourne Albert Park Hotel. The meeting will be hosted by @ARC_OzGRav.

Don't miss out!

@radofaletic @AustMS @amermathsoc @Science_Academy @ourANU Thank you @radofaletic 😊

[Susan Scott @ozgravityguru]

Very honoured today to receive the @AustMS most prestigious award - George Szekeres Medal - at joint meetings with the @amermathsoc and NZ Mathematical Society in Auckland. My research in general relativity was partly inspired by work of George Szekeres!
